Photo2RSS Helps Stream Photos

Want to be able to keep up to date on all of your friend’s pictures. Thanks to Aditya Mukherjee you can now subscribe via RSS to and of your friend’s picture albums. For developers, you can subscribe to a JSON feed that you can easily tie into scripts. So what is the point of feeding your friend’s pictures into your RSS reader? That’s a really good question and I don’t have a really good answer. As a blogger I have enough content that I need to read. Conversely, seeing the occasional picture of my friend as I scroll through my feed reader would be a nice surprise. Let me know if you think there is any additional benefit to using this application. I love covering applications but I don’t want to provide you with useless ones. Post a comment and let us know if this is a useful or useless application. In the meantime, if you’d like to check out the functionality, go grab the Photo2RSS application. As of my writing this there were only 3 subscribers. Perhaps I should take that as a sign.

  3. I actually would really like to stream photos from my facebook albums to myspace and my blog. That way I only upload to facebook but my photos appear everywhere else. Not the same exactly with the slideshow widgets which allow you to add pics from your albums, but do not thereafter update automatically. This app however does not do the trick. The feeds it gives you only provide the date and caption, not the actually photo. There is another app called Photo Feeds which renders the photos, but when I tried to import the feed's address to Wowzio, it didn't work. Flock provides the media streams of you and your friend's photos, but does not give the address of the feed, so I'm still stumped with this one. But in short, streaming the photos I think is very useful; I know now there is even a digital photo frame which will display the stream of your photos.

  4. Some digital photo frames allow you to pull content via WiFi.
    If you are able to give a feed of Facebook photos then you can have your digital frame instantly up to date without transferring any photos to the actual frame!
